NYT: The United States prevented Israel from eliminating the leader of Hezbollah in October 2023
The US administration prevented Israel from eliminating the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, in October 2023.
The New York Times writes about this.
It is noted that immediately after the escalation of the conflict began on October 7, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) planned to strike and eliminate Hassan Nasrallah.
The material says that after Israel informed the White House of its plans, US President Joe Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He told him that killing Nasrallah would “lead to the start of a regional war and asked him not to carry out strikes.”
Earlier it was reported that Israeli authorities warned US officials about a planned last-minute attack on the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah.
